Is there a way to remove alternate unit tolerances in Inventor 2017

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Nov 2017 04:45:05 GMT

I would like to show both imperial and metric values in my dimensions, but I only want tolerances to be shown in imperial. Is there a way to remove alternate unit tolerances in Inventor 2017.

Hi Sujeet,

Go to Manage tab -> Styles Editor -> Alternative unit, set the style as you want.

Hi Xun.Zhang,

Thanks for reply. But I want to give tolerance only in imperial units, not in metric.

Please see attached file as a reference.

Thanks,

Sujeet

I have the same question and wonder why Autodesk's employee (after misunderstanding a very clear question) chose not to reply to the original poster after explaining that Autodesk's first answer missed the mark.

Hi Dave,

You are right. I think Xun misunderstood the issue and the proposed solution isn't a solution. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a way to do that.

If you have access to AutoCAD Mechanical, you can actually create associative drawing views of Inventor components and annotate them in AutoCAD.

Many thanks!
